Within the next three years, Kia’s new hybrid technology will be seen in the cars to be launched in the UK, Europe and U.S.A. To decrease its CO2 output, Kia is incorporating the hybrid system in many of its models. In Korea, it launched its first hybrid, a Forte, which shares a platform with the Kia Cee’d.
According to Autocar’s source from Kia, it is likely that the first Kia hybrid in Europe will be based on the Cee’d. The Kia hybrid system fits in all the cars in its range that have a 1.6-litre petrol or 1.6-litre diesel engine, which at present is the Cee’d, Pro Cee’d, Cee’d SW and Soul. Autocar’s source said however that it might not feature in the Soul.
